f62312e028 packfile: introduce 'find_kept_pack_entry()'
Future callers will want a function to fill a 'struct pack_entry' for a
given object id but _only_ from its position in any kept pack(s).

In particular, an new 'git repack' mode which ensures the resulting
packs form a geometric progress by object count will mark packs that it
does not want to repack as "kept in-core", and it will want to halt a
reachability traversal as soon as it visits an object in any of the kept
packs. But, it does not want to halt the traversal at non-kept, or
.keep packs.

The obvious alternative is 'find_pack_entry()', but this doesn't quite
suffice since it only returns the first pack it finds, which may or may
not be kept (and the mru cache makes it unpredictable which one you'll
get if there are options).

Short of that, you could walk over all packs looking for the object in
each one, but it scales with the number of packs, which may be
prohibitive.

Introduce 'find_kept_pack_entry()', a function which is like
'find_pack_entry()', but only fills in objects in the kept packs.

Handle packs which have .keep files, as well as in-core kept packs
separately, since certain callers will want to distinguish one from the
other. (Though on-disk and in-core kept packs share the adjective
"kept", it is best to think of the two sets as independent.)

There is a gotcha when looking up objects that are duplicated in kept
and non-kept packs, particularly when the MIDX stores the non-kept
version and the caller asked for kept objects only. This could be
resolved by teaching the MIDX to resolve duplicates by always favoring
the kept pack (if one exists), but this breaks an assumption in existing
MIDXs, and so it would require a format change.

The benefit to changing the MIDX in this way is marginal, so we instead
have a more thorough check here which is explained with a comment.

Callers will be added in subsequent patches.

2f4ba2a867 packfile: prepare for the existence of '*.rev' files
Specify the format of the on-disk reverse index 'pack-*.rev' file, as
well as prepare the code for the existence of such files.

The reverse index maps from pack relative positions (i.e., an index into
the array of object which is sorted by their offsets within the
packfile) to their position within the 'pack-*.idx' file. Today, this is
done by building up a list of (off_t, uint32_t) tuples for each object
(the off_t corresponding to that object's offset, and the uint32_t
corresponding to its position in the index). To convert between pack and
index position quickly, this array of tuples is radix sorted based on
its offset.

This has two major drawbacks:

First, the in-memory cost scales linearly with the number of objects in
a pack.  Each 'struct revindex_entry' is sizeof(off_t) +
sizeof(uint32_t) + padding bytes for a total of 16.

To observe this, force Git to load the reverse index by, for e.g.,
running 'git cat-file --batch-check="%(objectsize:disk)"'. When asking
for a single object in a fresh clone of the kernel, Git needs to
allocate 120+ MB of memory in order to hold the reverse index in memory.

Second, the cost to sort also scales with the size of the pack.
Luckily, this is a linear function since 'load_pack_revindex()' uses a
radix sort, but this cost still must be paid once per pack per process.

As an example, it takes ~60x longer to print the _size_ of an object as
it does to print that entire object's _contents_:

  Benchmark #1: git.compile cat-file --batch <obj
    Time (mean ± σ):       3.4 ms ±   0.1 ms    [User: 3.3 ms, System: 2.1 ms]
    Range (min … max):     3.2 ms …   3.7 ms    726 runs

  Benchmark #2: git.compile cat-file --batch-check="%(objectsize:disk)" <obj
    Time (mean ± σ):     210.3 ms ±   8.9 ms    [User: 188.2 ms, System: 23.2 ms]
    Range (min … max):   193.7 ms … 224.4 ms    13 runs

Instead, avoid computing and sorting the revindex once per process by
writing it to a file when the pack itself is generated.

The format is relatively straightforward. It contains an array of
uint32_t's, the length of which is equal to the number of objects in the
pack.  The ith entry in this table contains the index position of the
ith object in the pack, where "ith object in the pack" is determined by
pack offset.

One thing that the on-disk format does _not_ contain is the full (up to)
eight-byte offset corresponding to each object. This is something that
the in-memory revindex contains (it stores an off_t in 'struct
revindex_entry' along with the same uint32_t that the on-disk format
has). Omit it in the on-disk format, since knowing the index position
for some object is sufficient to get a constant-time lookup in the
pack-*.idx file to ask for an object's offset within the pack.

This trades off between the on-disk size of the 'pack-*.rev' file for
runtime to chase down the offset for some object. Even though the lookup
is constant time, the constant is heavier, since it can potentially
involve two pointer walks in v2 indexes (one to access the 4-byte offset
table, and potentially a second to access the double wide offset table).

Consider trying to map an object's pack offset to a relative position
within that pack. In a cold-cache scenario, more page faults occur while
switching between binary searching through the reverse index and
searching through the *.idx file for an object's offset. Sure enough,
with a cold cache (writing '3' into '/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches' after
'sync'ing), printing out the entire object's contents is still
marginally faster than printing its size:

  Benchmark #1: git.compile cat-file --batch-check="%(objectsize:disk)" <obj >/dev/null
    Time (mean ± σ):      22.6 ms ±   0.5 ms    [User: 2.4 ms, System: 7.9 ms]
    Range (min … max):    21.4 ms …  23.5 ms    41 runs

  Benchmark #2: git.compile cat-file --batch <obj >/dev/null
    Time (mean ± σ):      17.2 ms ±   0.7 ms    [User: 2.8 ms, System: 5.5 ms]
    Range (min … max):    15.6 ms …  18.2 ms    45 runs

(Numbers taken in the kernel after cheating and using the next patch to
generate a reverse index). There are a couple of approaches to improve
cold cache performance not pursued here:

  - We could include the object offsets in the reverse index format.
    Predictably, this does result in fewer page faults, but it triples
    the size of the file, while simultaneously duplicating a ton of data
    already available in the .idx file. (This was the original way I
    implemented the format, and it did show
    `--batch-check='%(objectsize:disk)'` winning out against `--batch`.)

    On the other hand, this increase in size also results in a large
    block-cache footprint, which could potentially hurt other workloads.

  - We could store the mapping from pack to index position in more
    cache-friendly way, like constructing a binary search tree from the
    table and writing the values in breadth-first order. This would
    result in much better locality, but the price you pay is trading
    O(1) lookup in 'pack_pos_to_index()' for an O(log n) one (since you
    can no longer directly index the table).

So, neither of these approaches are taken here. (Thankfully, the format
is versioned, so we are free to pursue these in the future.) But, cold
cache performance likely isn't interesting outside of one-off cases like
asking for the size of an object directly. In real-world usage, Git is
often performing many operations in the revindex (i.e., asking about
many objects rather than a single one).

The trade-off is worth it, since we will avoid the vast majority of the
cost of generating the revindex that the extra pointer chase will look
like noise in the following patch's benchmarks.

This patch describes the format and prepares callers (like in
pack-revindex.c) to be able to read *.rev files once they exist. An
implementation of the writer will appear in the next patch, and callers
will gradually begin to start using the writer in the patches that
follow after that.

59552fb3e2 midx: traverse the local MIDX first
When a repository has an alternate object directory configured, callers
can traverse through each alternate's MIDX by walking the '->next'
pointer.

But, when 'prepare_multi_pack_index_one()' loads multiple MIDXs, it
places the new ones at the front of this pointer chain, not at the end.
This can be confusing for callers such as 'git repack -ad', causing test
failures like in t7700.6 with 'GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEX=1'.

The occurs when dropping a pack known to the local MIDX with alternates
configured that have their own MIDX. Since the alternate's MIDX is
returned via 'get_multi_pack_index()', 'midx_contains_pack()' returns
true (which is correct, since it traverses through the '->next' pointer
to find the MIDX in the chain that does contain the requested object).
But, we call 'clear_midx_file()' on 'the_repository', which drops the
MIDX at the path of the first MIDX in the chain, which (in the case of
t7700.6 is the one in the alternate).

This patch addresses that by:

  - placing the local MIDX first in the chain when calling
    'prepare_multi_pack_index_one()', and

  - introducing a new 'get_local_multi_pack_index()', which explicitly
    returns the repository-local MIDX, if any.

Don't impose an additional order on the MIDX's '->next' pointer beyond
that the first item in the chain must be local if one exists so that we
avoid a quadratic insertion.

Likewise, use 'get_local_multi_pack_index()' in
'remove_redundant_pack()' to fix the formerly broken t7700.6 when run
with 'GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEX=1'.

Finally, note that the MIDX ordering invariant is only preserved by the
insertion order in 'prepare_packed_git()', which traverses through the
ODB's '->next' pointer, meaning we visit the local object store first.
This fragility makes this an undesirable long-term solution if more
callers are added, but it is acceptable for now since this is the only
caller.

2fecc48cad packfile: drop nth_packed_object_sha1()
Once upon a time, nth_packed_object_sha1() was the primary way to get
the oid of a packfile's index position. But these days we have the more
type-safe nth_packed_object_id() wrapper, and all callers have been
converted.

Let's drop the "sha1" version (turning the safer wrapper into a single
function) so that nobody is tempted to introduce new callers.

0763671b8e nth_packed_object_oid(): use customary integer return
Our nth_packed_object_sha1() function returns NULL for error. So when we
wrapped it with nth_packed_object_oid(), we kept the same semantics. But
it's a bit funny, because the caller actually passes in an out
parameter, and the pointer we return is just that same struct they
passed to us (or NULL).

It's not too terrible, but it does make the interface a little
non-idiomatic. Let's switch to our usual "0 for success, negative for
error" return value. Most callers either don't check it, or are
trivially converted. The one that requires the biggest change is
actually improved, as we can ditch an extra aliased pointer variable.

Since we are changing the interface in a subtle way that the compiler
wouldn't catch, let's also change the name to catch any topics in
flight. We can drop the 'o' and make it nth_packed_object_id(). That's
slightly shorter, but also less redundant since the 'o' stands for
"object" already.

fc78915674 packfile: fix pack basename computation
When we have a multi-pack-index that covers many packfiles, we try to
avoid opening the .idx for those packfiles. To do that we feed the pack
name to midx_contains_pack(). But that function wants to see only the
basename, which we compute using strrchr() to find the final slash. But
that leaves an extra "/" at the start of our string.

We can fix this by incrementing the pointer. That also raises the
question of what to do when the name does not have a '/' at all. This
should generally not happen (we always find files in "pack/"), but it
doesn't hurt to be defensive here.

Let's wrap all of that up in a helper function and make it publicly
available, since a later patch will need to use it, too.

The tests don't notice because there's nothing about opening those .idx
files that would cause us to give incorrect output. It's just a little
slower. The new test checks this case by corrupting the covered .idx,
and then making sure we don't complain about it.

We also have to tweak t5570, which intentionally corrupts a .idx file
and expects us to notice it. When run with GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEX,
this will fail since we now will (correctly) not bother opening the .idx
at all. We can fix that by unconditionally dropping any midx that's
there, which ensures we'll have to read the .idx.

0889aae1cd for_each_*_object: move declarations to object-store.h
The for_each_loose_object() and for_each_packed_object()
functions are meant to be part of a unified interface: they
use the same set of for_each_object_flags, and it's not
inconceivable that we might one day add a single
for_each_object() wrapper around them.

Let's put them together in a single file, so we can avoid
awkwardness like saying "the flags for this function are
over in cache.h". Moving the loose functions to packfile.h
is silly. Moving the packed functions to cache.h works, but
makes the "cache.h is a kitchen sink" problem worse. The
best place is the recently-created object-store.h, since
these are quite obviously related to object storage.

The for_each_*_in_objdir() functions do not use the same
flags, but they are logically part of the same interface as
for_each_loose_object(), and share callback signatures. So
we'll move those, as well, as they also make sense in
object-store.h.

736eb88fdc for_each_packed_object: support iterating in pack-order
We currently iterate over objects within a pack in .idx
order, which uses the object hashes. That means that it
is effectively random with respect to the location of the
object within the pack. If you're going to access the actual
object data, there are two reasons to move linearly through
the pack itself:

  1. It improves the locality of access in the packfile. In
     the cold-cache case, this may mean fewer disk seeks, or
     better usage of disk cache.

  2. We store related deltas together in the packfile. Which
     means that the delta base cache can operate much more
     efficiently if we visit all of those related deltas in
     sequence, as the earlier items are likely to still be
     in the cache.  Whereas if we visit the objects in
     random order, our cache entries are much more likely to
     have been evicted by unrelated deltas in the meantime.

So in general, if you're going to access the object contents
pack order is generally going to end up more efficient.

But if you're simply generating a list of object names, or
if you're going to end up sorting the result anyway, you're
better off just using the .idx order, as finding the pack
order means generating the in-memory pack-revindex.
According to the numbers in 8b8dfd5132 (pack-revindex:
radix-sort the revindex, 2013-07-11), that takes about 200ms
for linux.git, and 20ms for git.git (those numbers are a few
years old but are still a good ballpark).

That makes it a good optimization for some cases (we can
save tens of seconds in git.git by having good locality of
delta access, for a 20ms cost), but a bad one for others
(e.g., right now "cat-file --batch-all-objects
--batch-check="%(objectname)" is 170ms in git.git, so adding
20ms to that is noticeable).

Hence this patch makes it an optional flag. You can't
actually do any interesting timings yet, as it's not plumbed
through to any user-facing tools like cat-file. That will
come in a later patch.

8b36155190 for_each_*_object: give more comprehensive docstrings
We already mention the local/alternate behavior of these
functions, but we can help clarify a few other behaviors:

 - there's no need to mention LOCAL_ONLY specifically, since
   we already reference the flags by type (and as we add
   more flags, we don't want to have to mention each)

 - clarify that reachability doesn't matter here; this is
   all accessible objects

 - what ordering/uniqueness guarantees we give

 - how pack-specific flags are handled for the loose case

a7ff6f5a0f for_each_*_object: take flag arguments as enum
It's not wrong to pass our flags in an "unsigned", as we
know it will be at least as large as the enum.  However,
using the enum in the declaration makes it more obvious
where to find the list of flags.

While we're here, let's also drop the "extern" noise-words
from the declarations, per our modern coding style.

202e7f1e16 for_each_*_object: store flag definitions in a single location
These flags were split between cache.h and packfile.h,
because some of the flags apply only to packs. However, they
share a single numeric namespace, since both are respected
for the packed variant. Let's make sure they're defined
together so that nobody accidentally adds a new flag in one
location that duplicates the other.

While we're here, let's also put them in an enum (which
helps debugger visibility) and use "(1<<n)" rather than
counting powers of 2 manually.

b42f98af09 packfile: ensure that enum object_type is defined
When compiling under Apple LLVM version 9.1.0 (clang-902.0.39.2) with
"make DEVELOPER=1 DEVOPTS=pedantic", the compiler says

    error: redeclaration of already-defined enum 'object_type' is a GNU
    extension [-Werror,-Wgnu-redeclared-enum]

According to https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/language/declarations
(section "Redeclaration"), a repeated declaration after the definition
is only legal for structs and unions, but not for enums.

Drop the belated declaration of enum object_type and include cache.h
instead to make sure the enum is defined.

fe1ed56f5e midx: sort and deduplicate objects from packfiles
Before writing a list of objects and their offsets to a multi-pack-index,
we need to collect the list of objects contained in the packfiles. There
may be multiple copies of some objects, so this list must be deduplicated.

It is possible to artificially get into a state where there are many
duplicate copies of objects. That can create high memory pressure if we
are to create a list of all objects before de-duplication. To reduce
this memory pressure without a significant performance drop,
automatically group objects by the first byte of their object id. Use
the IDX fanout tables to group the data, copy to a local array, then
sort.

Copy only the de-duplicated entries. Select the duplicate based on the
most-recent modified time of a packfile containing the object.

cbd53a2193 object-store: move object access functions to object-store.h
This should make these functions easier to find and cache.h less
overwhelming to read.

In particular, this moves:
- read_object_file
- oid_object_info
- write_object_file

As a result, most of the codebase needs to #include object-store.h.
In this patch the #include is only added to files that would fail to
compile otherwise.  It would be better to #include wherever
identifiers from the header are used.  That can happen later
when we have better tooling for it.

9d98354f48 cache.h: allow oid_object_info to handle arbitrary repositories
This involves also adapting oid_object_info_extended and a some
internal functions that are used to implement these. It all has to
happen in one patch, because of a single recursive chain of calls visits
all these functions.

oid_object_info_extended is also used in partial clones, which allow
fetching missing objects. As this series will not add the repository
struct to the transport code and fetch_object(), add a TODO note and
omit fetching if a user tries to use a partial clone in a repository
other than the_repository.

Among the functions modified to handle arbitrary repositories,
unpack_entry() is one of them. Note that it still references the globals
"delta_base_cache" and "delta_base_cached", but those are safe to be
referenced (the former is indexed partly by "struct packed_git *", which
is repo-specific, and the latter is only used to limit the size of the
former as an optimization).

default. Sometimes it's hard to see this connection between where the

Keep this dependency internal because now all access to packed_git and
